It has been evident since the dying days of 2023, when its counteroffensive stalled, that Ukraine is not winning.

"not winning" hm... I wonder if there might possibly be another way to say that?

Also, it's incredible how the author acknowledges that Ukraine's situation has steadily deteriorated over the past three years, then proceeds advocating more of the same. The article ignores the fact that the west has already tried applying maximum pressure on Russia, and tries to drum up the whole triumph of the will thing.
